Ocala police have released surveillance images of two men believed to have used a stolen school credit card at a local store.

The card was reported stolen Sept. 12 from a school and shortly afterward was used at Walmart at 2600 SW 19th Ave. Road to purchase lawn equipment. Police said the items were taken to the Walmart at 4980 E. Silver Springs Blvd., where one of the men attempted to return the goods for cash. The employee instead credited the card. The second man tried to use the card to buy more goods, but it was declined because it had been canceled.

Detectives are trying to find the men and hope someone will identify them from the photos. Anyone with information can call Detective Shawn Minucci at 369-7183, the Crime Line at 369-7061 or Crime Stoppers at 368-STOP.
